LEADER: developing a new territorial and circular economy
The action aims to support network initiatives and economic projects contributing to the environmental transition. The catalogue cites local authorities, public bodies, chambers of commerce and trades, associations, companies and farm operators. The exact criteria, eligible costs and whether applications are open must be confirmed in the relevant programme’s action sheets.
This action supports initiatives that turn local resources into activities useful to the area, particularly in the circular economy, new supply chains, the social and solidarity economy and work integration. It may involve collective projects, innovative forms of organisation or cooperation between businesses, associations and public players. The application must specify the value created locally, the expected jobs or services and the business model.
